As companies begin to release their quarter earnings, we see mixed reactions in the market as investors begin to react either positively or negatively towards released results and expectations of companies who are yet to disclose their earnings.

At the end of today’s trading activities, the FUGAZ banks all declined in share prices, which suggests that investors in these banks were having a field day taking profit.

FBNH Plc dropped by 2.71% from N11.05 to N10.75 at the end of the session, as the market cap also mirrored the decline to lose N10.77 billion.
